In a bold and unapologetic move, Scott Presler directly confronted Bucks County, PA Commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia, declaring his intention to take her seat. The fearless Republican activist made it clear that he is ready to challenge the status quo and bring much-needed change to the county’s leadership.
During a fiery commissioners’ meeting on Wednesday, Presler took aim at Ellis-Marseglia, accusing her of turning a blind eye to election misconduct. With unwavering resolve, he declared his intention to challenge her seat in 2027 unless she steps down immediately.
“I have a message: peacefully, we are coming for your seat in 2027 if you don’t resign today,” Presler announced directly to Marseglia. “I am coming for your seat peacefully.”
JUST IN: Scott Presler absolutely demolishes Bucks County, PA Commissioner to her face, tells her he is coming for her seat.
The comment clearly triggered what sounded like chair Diane Ellis-Marseglia who shot back, "Have at it."

Presler’s passionate criticism highlighted accusations of voter disenfranchisement during early in-person voting. He pointed out instances where voters were misled about when they could cast their ballots, effectively suppressing Republican votes. He praised the Republican National Committee for taking legal action against Bucks County to extend early voting by three days, celebrating it as a triumph for election integrity.
Following his remarks on election integrity, Presler enthusiastically celebrated Republican achievements in Pennsylvania, notably flipping Bucks County from Democratic to Republican control for the first time in modern history. “Congratulations to the patriots of Bucks County,” he proclaimed. “We defeated Matt Cartwright, gained additional seats in Congress, and we will not allow Democrats to steal this seat.”
OH MY GOSH!
I know this guy.
Heard he’s going to keep registering new Republican voters across Pennsylvania.
Game on.

Presler also accused Marseglia of disregarding court rulings, particularly a decision that prohibited undated mail-in ballots. He cited Marseglia’s alleged statement: “Precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country. People violate laws any time they want.” Presler retorted, “You knew that going into the meeting, Commissioner, yet you chose to violate the law anyway.”
Addressing a room filled with supporters, Presler extended his criticism to include Commissioner Bob Harvey, accusing him of being complicit. “Harvey, this goes for you too. I will spend the next three years in Bucks County to ensure we take back this county.”
